1961 Obelisk
I assume it's just an obelisk with "1961" inscribed on it since that's when FAU was first founded. What's an obelisk? Yeah, I had to look it up too… because I thought it was a giant snake (that's a Basilisk… close)
This is an obelisk
but I imagine ours will probably be about 6 feet tall.

Plus, the long fountain complements the Washington Monument very well. The old-fashioned streetlights are very cool as well. The more I look at this one, the more I like it.

I've seen them partially covered in pink and white flowers because you can grow vines on them. That would add to the plaza but you have the potential of wasp/bee nests in there.
Proposal 3

So what do you guys think?

is that area really that big?
Yeah, I was wondering the same thing. But they'll scale it to whatever the actual area is.

I like proposal 1 & 2 in that order, the only thing I didn't like in proposal #2 are the post lights that are closest to the fountain - they should limit them to a row down the middle or use some type of pathway lighting instead.
Yeah, I agree. The obelisk will already have its own lighting so there really is no need for that additional light.
